Vaishali wears a beautiful piece of clothing called a Saree, a traditional Indian dress for women. It is mostly tangerine-colored, with blue, brown, and gold-colored decorative stripes. There are three times as many gold stripes as brown stripes, and five times as many blue stripes as gold stripes. If there are 4 brown stripes, how many blue stripes does Vaishali's Saree have?

With 3 times as many gold stripes as brown stripes, this means there are 3 * 4 =

<<3*4=12>>12 gold stripes. With five times as many blue stripes as gold stripes, this means there are 5 * 12 = <<5*12=60>>60 blue stripes. #### 60 Sean played cricket for 50 minutes each day for 14 days. Indira also played cricket. Together they played cricket for 1512 minutes. How many minutes did Indira play cricket? Sean played 50 * 14 = <<50*14=700>>700 minutes Indira played 1512 - 700 = <<1512-700=812>>812 minutes Indira played cricket for 812 minutes. #### 812 Oliver has $40 and 200 quarters. If he gives his sister $5 and 120 quarters, how much money in total is he left with? The 200 quarters equals 200*$0.25 = $<<200*0.25=50>>50. Oliver has a total of $40+$50 = $<<40+50=90>>90. He gives his sister 120*$0.25 = $<<120*0.25=30>>30 in total from the quarters. The total amount he gave to his sister is $30+$5= $<<30+5=35>>35. Oliver is left with $90-$35 = $<<90-35=55>>55. #### 55 A farmer plants his vegetables in neat rows. He has 64 bean seedlings and plants 8 seedlings in a row. He also has 84 pumpkin seeds and plants 7 seeds in a row. Recently, he planted 48 radishes with 6 radishes in a row. If the farmer plants two rows per plant bed, how many plant beds did he have for all his plants? There are 64/8 = <<64/8=8>>8 rows of bean seedlings. There are 84/7 = <<84/7=12>>12 rows of pumpkin seedlings. There are 48/6 = <<48/6=8>>8 rows of radishes. Thus, there are a total of 8 + 12 + 8 = <<8+12+8=28>>28 rows of vegetables. Therefore, the farmer had 28/2 = <<28/2=14>>14 plant beds. #### 14 Talia is playing football with her friends. The park they're playing at is 5 miles from Talia's house. After their game, Talia is planning to go to the grocery store 3 miles away from the park and 8 miles from her home. Starting and ending at Talia's house, how many miles does Talia drive that day? Talia first drives 5 miles to the park + 3 miles from the park to the grocery store = <<5+3=8>>8 miles. She next drives 8 miles from the store to home + the first 8 miles = <<8+8=16>>16 miles Talia drives that day. #### 16 There are 20 students in the orchestra and twice that number in the band. There are 12 boys and 16 girls in the choir. If each student only participates in one group, how many students, in total, are there in the orchestra, the band, and the choir? There are 20 x 2 = <<20*2=40>>40 students in the band. There are 12 + 16 = <<12+16=28>>28 students in the choir. In total there are 20 + 40 + 28 = <<20+40+28=88>>88 students. #### 88 Patrick has 4 hours less than twice the amount of time that Greg has left to finish his homework. Greg has six hours less than Jacob left to finish his homework. If Jacob has 18 hours left to finish his homework, calculate the total number of hours they all have left to finish their homework? If Jacob has 18 hours left to finish his homework, Greg has 18-6 = <<18-6=12>>12 hours left to finish his homework. The total number of hours Jacob and Greg have left to finish their homework is 12+18 = <<12+18=30>>30 hours. Patrick has 4 hours less than twice Greg has left to finish his homework, meaning Patrick has 4 hours less than 12*2 = 24 hours left to finish his homework. Patrick has 24-4 = <<24-4=20>>20 hours left to finish his homework. Altogether, the three have 30+20 = <<30+20=50>>50 hours left to finish their homework. #### 50 Lena has 16 candy bars. She needs 5 more candy bars to have 3 times as many as Kevin, and Kevin has 4 candy bars less than Nicole. How many more candy bars does Lena have than Nicole? Kevin has (16 + 5)/3 = <<(16+5)/3=7>>7 candy bars. Nicole has 7 + 4 = <<7+4=11>>11 candy bars. Lena has 16 - 11 = <<16-11=5>>5 more candy bars than Nicole #### 5 A boat is traveling across a square lake at 10 MPH. It takes 2 hours to go across the length of the lake. It then travels the whole width of the lake at the same speed, which takes 30 minutes. How many square miles is the lake? The lake is 20 miles across because 2 x 10 = <<2*10=20>>20 If takes .5 hours to go from bottom to top because 30 / 60 = <<30/60=.5>>.5 The lake is five miles from bottom to top because 10 x .5 = <<10*.5=5>>5 The square mileage is 100 because 20 x 5 = <<20*5=100>>100 #### 100 Ursula bought five hot dogs at $1.50 each and three salads at $2.50 each. If she had two $10 bills, how much change did she get back? Five hotdogs cost 5 x $1.50 = $<<5*1.5=7.50>>7.50. Three salads cost 3 x $2.50 = $<<3*2.5=7.50>>7.50. The total cost was $7.50 + $7.50 = $<<7.5+7.5=15>>15. And, Ursula had 2 x $10 = $<<2*10=20>>20. Therefore, Ursula got a change of $20 - $15 = $<<20-15=5>>5. #### 5
